The presence of the dogs bothered me, but I can't say I understand what is happening there right now. I would like to know if the cell phones that are said to have recorded the events are still in the hands of the owners, or whether the phones have been claimed as evidence in some way.
I hope they have a dash cam or audio, and that it doesn't get "lost" cause this smells like a cover up.According to St. Louis County Police Chief Belmar, an unarmed 18-year-old, Mike Brown, was walking with a friend in the middle of Canfield when an officer attempted to exit his vehicle. Police said Brown pushed the officer back into the police car. According to police, Brown then entered the officer’s vehicle and a struggle ensued over the officer’s weapon. Police said during the physical altercation a shot was fired inside of the car.
